Indology: Times of India.

[Guest guest]

Regarding the authorship of anonymous documents like "The

Mahatma Letters" it seems the genuineness of the content are best

discovered from the documents itself.

 

It seems however wrote "The Mahatma Letters" must have had a

contempt for the people they defrauded on a continuous basis, while

feigning humility, they sought the triumph of their "Masters" over all of

human history and the transcendent Godhead of the great religions

himself.

 

The fact is that there is nothing in the Mahatma letters, which could not

have been penned by HPB and her educated cohorts. Nothing.

The "wisdom" in them is not evidence of a superior knowledge and

vision, possessed and seen by ancient beings or ageless beings outside

of time. It is the information/knowledge base of persons with a distinct

time-limited frame of reference. Projecting their victorian era esoteric

world-view back onto the history of thought, the authors appear to be

woefully deficient in understanding their "own" so-called Indian sacred

traditions. The speculations of the so-called Masters, about ancient

Egyptian and Indian thought, were quite limited to the information

available to HPB and friends. Their own esoteric studies in

Rosicrucianism, Masonry and spiritism etc. and wide reading in religion,

history, philosophy and the science of their day, was enough to form the

knowledge-base evident in all of the Mahatma letters and HPB's books.

Beyond this information, there is nothing, nothing there.

 

They claim to be Masters of ancient Indian or "Esoteric Buddhist"

tradition, or whatever, but give no evidence of any real mastery of these

traditions at all. At best they appear to be highly educated Westerners

and undisciplined Hindu-Buddhist neophytes.

 

Their "voice" is all wrong for real ancient adepts, and the masterful

content of their letters is laughable. I will ask "what are the authors of

these letters the Masters of? If these letters are their credentials, then

what is their apparent qualification for teaching? Where is the proof in

the letters that these "Mahatmas" are what and who they say they are?

If they knew the truth about "Indian" and Egyptian traditions etc. back

then, then why did they teach so much utter nonsense and mislead

people?" The "Masters" can be exposed just by examining their claimed

expertise. What knowledge is evident in "their" letters? Let us give

these "Masters" an exam on real-world Indo-Asian or Egyptian

traditions. They will fail. Do you think that they will show-up again to

explain to the world why they failed?

 

Surely their self-deluded chelas will rationalize their errors and

omissions and contradictions, but anyone, who not so enthralled to

them, will see that the "Masters" were masters of exactly what HPB and

friends were masters of, and nothing more.

 

I hope to go through some of the Mahatmas' letters to give examples of

the above mentioned errors, omissions, contradictions,

limitations, "voice" problems and other evidence of the so-called

Masters' true identity and qualifications. They were in a sense masters

of whatever it was that HBP and friends had mastered...the Western

esoteric "wisdom" of their time. However they were rank neophytes

when it came to many things that the Mahatmas' claimed mastery of.

Thus the "Masters" should be tested on these things. They made the

claim of mastery, let them explain themselves.

 

The Times of India reported a few days ago the Theosophy covers "the

evolution of mankind"

 

Yet many theosophists today also claim that Hitler was indeed right that

he killed 6 million jews (this has been posted by the head of the

Theosophical Central Archive on the Internet this year, 2002).

 

Are "The Mahatma Letters" are for real or not. For those who haven't

read The Mahatma Letters yet, you can start by commenting on the

content of following genuine "Mahatma Letter:

Mahama Letters ?" will be placed on the web site of the University of
